Champion of the people, #Zorro!

(Kind of had to re-ink this one after I was done because I realized the window rails shadow on Zorro wouldn’t work with a direct flame in front of him, so this is take 2!)

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

There are so many responses savaging the looks of these men. It's taking the easy way out. There are plenty of people who look like those men and are not racist sacks of human refuse. Something is deficient in their souls. In their minds. In the manner in which they were raised.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Oh my god..... I'm so sad, I feel like this guy only just retired recently, one of the greatest artists ever. The documentation about how he went about designing and illustrating his posters taught me so much. Go read up on it, as an artist you gotta. 😔

We’ve lost Drew Struzan. A modern master, who by all accounts was a humble, sweet, loving, dedicated man. His work influenced culture itself, & we’ll be seeing that influence until the end of the modern world. What a legacy. What a body of work. May he rest well, & may his memory be a blessing.

One of the greatest of all time without any exaggeration. The benchmark for poster artists everywhere. A literal titan. Damn awful news.
